MFT 213 - Materials in Nanotechnology
Credits: 3
2 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours
Prerequisites: MFT 211 , MFT 212
Co-requisites: MFT 214
Description
This course covers hands-on exposure to the producing and positioning of the materials used in nanofabrication. This includes self-assembly, colloidal chemistry, atmosphere, low-pressure and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. It covers atomic layer deposition, sputtering, thermal and electron beam evaporation, nebulization and spin-on techniques. The course provides students with experience in deposition, fabrication and self-assembly for a variety of materials.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Apply proper safety and cleanroom behavior in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) operation.
